Study Notes
Basal Lamina Composition
- The bulk volume of the basal lamina is made up of proteoglycans.
Role of Proteoglycans
- Proteoglycans play a crucial role in the basal lamina by providing mechanical strength and filtration properties.
Proteoglycan Structure
- Long chains of glycosaminoglycans are attached to the protein core of proteoglycans.
Test your knowledge about Proteoglycans and their role in the basal lamina. Learn about their composition, hydration, and involvement in ion regulation.
